The 7 p.m. show marks the third production in Blinn’s 2017-18 Performing Arts Series, which featured sold-out performances by Asleep at the Wheel and “Snowkus Pocus” in the fall.

A must-see for music lovers, “Million Dollar Quartet” is inspired by the true story of the famed recording session in 1956 at Sun Records in Memphis that brought together icons Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis, and Carl Perkins for the first and only time.

“Million Dollar Quartet” captures the contagious spirit, freewheeling excitement, and thrilling sounds of this landmark historical event where four of music’s best talents came together. For more information, visit the show’s website at www.MillionDollarQuartet.net.

Individual tickets are $30. Discounts are available for children ages 10 and under ($15), and groups of 10 or more ($26). Blinn employees can purchase tickets for $20 and Blinn student rush tickets are $10. Audience members should note the musical’s 90-minute run time with no intermission. Prior to the concert, Blinn will host a 6 p.m. reception in the MRW Studio Theatre. Single reception tickets will be available up to five days prior to the event for $20.

Following “Million Dollar Quartet,” Blinn’s 2017-18 Performing Arts Series will conclude with a performance by pop-jazz vocal group m-pact at 7 p.m. Friday, April 13, at the O’Donnell Center.

In addition to providing incredible entertainment for the community, Blinn’s Performing Arts Series provides a unique hands-on opportunity to Blinn College theatre students. Under the supervision of Technical Theatre Director Kevin Patrick, and in partnership with tour artists and crew, our theatre students run much of the technical requirements for very complex professional touring productions.

“Blinn College’s Performing Arts Series gives our theatre students a unique opportunity to assist with technical setups for each show,” Patrick said. “It is a priceless educational experience for our future theatre professionals.”
